Memory— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Make the answer more concise, correct repetition errors, and add linking words and one specific brief example. Keep within 3–4 sentences and avoid repeating words (e.g., “at at”).

Ejemplo: I’m not very good at memorising things. For example, when I watch a short English clip and try to repeat a sentence, I often forget it almost immediately. To improve, I’m practising by repeating phrases three times and writing them down.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear topic sentence, add a brief reason and a consequence using linking words, and use a slightly richer vocabulary (e.g., ‘missed’ instead of ‘forgotten about’). Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I once missed an important school exam. It was a maths test that I didn’t prepare for, so I scored 0 out of 25 and felt very embarrassed afterwards.

Sugerencia: Give a clearer topic sentence and then one or two specific examples of things you must remember; use linking words to connect ideas and avoid vague phrasing like ‘take out’.

Ejemplo: I need to remember to set aside time each day for practice and self-improvement. For instance, I try to practise English for 30 minutes and learn one new skill every week so I can improve gradually.

Sugerencia: This answer is clear but can be improved by adding a linking phrase and one brief example of how it helps (specific routine or result). Keep it concise and natural.

Ejemplo: I usually write important tasks in my phone’s Notes app and set reminders. For example, I set an alert the night before an appointment so I don’t miss it.

× I don't think I am good at at memorizing things because when I practice English, when I watch a 5 second video to repeat a sentence after it I forget what the sentence was and I think that I should improve my memorizing power because I cannot remember even for like 3 seconds.

✓ I don't think I am good at memorizing things because when I practice English, when I watch a 5-second video and try to repeat a sentence after it, I forget what the sentence was, and I think that I should improve my memory because I cannot remember even for about three seconds.

The phrase 'good at at memorizing' has a duplicated preposition and should be 'good at memorizing' (verb + -ing form after 'good at'). 'To repeat a sentence after it' is awkward; use 'and try to repeat a sentence after it' where 'try' requires the to-infinitive or rephrase with '-ing'. 'Memorizing power' is unnatural; use 'memory'. Use hyphen in '5-second' as a compound adjective and spell out small numbers consistently; 'like 3 seconds' -> 'about three seconds'. Suggestion: remove duplicate 'at', use gerund after 'good at', rephrase clauses for clarity, and replace unnatural noun phrases.

× Yes, I have forgotten about my test in school. It was mathematics test and I forgot to prepare it and I scored a 0 out of 25 and it was quite embarrassing.

✓ Yes, I forgot about a test at school. It was a mathematics test and I didn't prepare for it, so I scored 0 out of 25, which was quite embarrassing.

Mixed and incorrect past tense and phrasing: 'I have forgotten about my test in school' is awkward for a specific past event; simple past 'I forgot' is appropriate. 'It was mathematics test' needs an article: 'a mathematics test'. 'I forgot to prepare it' is incorrect collocation; 'didn't prepare for it' is correct. Use 'scored 0 out of 25' (no article) and link with 'so' or make separate sentence; use 'which was' to describe embarrassment. Suggestion: use simple past for completed past events, include appropriate articles, and use correct verb + preposition 'prepare for'.

× I need to remember that I have to take out, I have to use some time to get better, to practice or to learn a new skill so I can do better every day.

✓ I need to remember that I have to make time to get better, to practice, or to learn a new skill so I can improve every day.

'Take out' is incorrect collocation here; use 'make time' or 'set aside time'. Repetition of 'I have to' is unnecessary; combine items in a parallel structure and use base verbs consistently. 'Do better every day' is informal; 'improve every day' is clearer. Suggestion: use correct collocations ('make time'), keep parallel structure, and choose clearer verbs.

× I remember important things by writing them down in my phone in the notes app or just setting the reminders in my phone so I know not to forget this.

✓ I remember important things by writing them down in my phone's Notes app or by setting reminders on my phone so I don't forget them.

Articles and possessive: 'in my phone in the notes app' should be 'in my phone's Notes app' or 'in the Notes app on my phone'. 'the reminders' should be 'reminders' (no definite article) and 'so I know not to forget this' is awkward and uses singular 'this' for plural 'things'; use 'so I don't forget them'. Also prefer 'on my phone' rather than 'in my phone'. Suggestion: use possessive 'phone's', correct article usage, and match pronoun number to antecedent.
